The question emerges whether the Kalika Mataji temple is a public Trust. The High Court after exhaustively subjecting the entire material evidence to close scrutiny concluded thus :
(1) It (Kalika Mataji temple) is very ancient temple more than thousand years old.
(2) It origin is lost in antiquity. It is not possible to rely upon the evidence of witness Chandramukharam and witness witness- Pavinbhi that about a thousand years ago their ancestor Devshanker had the vision of Mataji at that place and that the had constructed that temple for his own worship. They cannot have knowledge of events which took place a thousand years ago. We are, there fore, of the opinion that so far as the origin of the temple is concerned it is lost in antiquity. The temple is situated on a hill were there is no permanent human habitation.
